Take-Away Note
Implications
- Kids are playing on digital playgrounds. Who is on recess duty.
- We amputate kids digital limbs
- Be what you're learning
We need to design and monitor digital age activities that ask students to experience what their learning in authentic ways, using their tools. We need to design project based learning to motivate, empower students, and work in peer environments.
Google yourself and clean up your footprint
We need to teach kids to preserve a clean digital imprint of themselves.
Portfolio power is in the process, not the product
Students should begin creating their digital footprint from the day that they are born. The importance lies in the reflection upon their work and
the process that is associated with the development of the portfolio collection. (sites.google.com/site/eportfolioapps)




Key note speaker comments:
Technology should be like oxygen.....ubiquitous, necessary, and invisible
It is okay to fail because you have still learned something.
If you are not using technology, you are not sharing your knowledge with the world

Dr. Cooks comments: Live with courage, TEACH BECAUSE YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD, and have a vision for your classroom.
Provide an authentic audience for your students. An audience makes their work real for them which is a great motivator.

Presenter: Adam Bellow, Founder of Www.Edutecher.net His Tech Commandments
1. Do not trap technology in a room, do not have a lab.
2. Quality and consistent technology must be given or it is useless
3. 1-3 hours of training is not professional training...it is just a circus, training needs to be a priority, $ is spent on hardware not on training so the hardware just sits there unused
4. Put all cell phones on the desk so they are all visible so you know if they are using it, and then they can be used for resources
5. Schoolology is like Facebook, an academic feed, collect in drop box, grade them and send them back, teaches how to be digitally responsible
6. Failure is an option, just not a good one
